We proof that in dimension two, a Finsler metric is Douglas and generalized Berwald, if and only if it is Berwald or a Randers metric $\alpha + \beta$, where $\beta$ is closed and is of constant length with respect to $\alpha$.

The (pseudo-)Riemann-metrizability and Ricci-flatness of Finsler spaces with $m$-Kropina metric $F = \alpha^{1+m}\beta^{-m}$ of Berwald type are investigated. We prove that the affine connection on $F$ can locally be understood as the…

Generalized $m$-Kropina metrics appear naturally as a spacetime geometry compatible with Lorentz symmetry breaking, leading to useful applications in modified gravity and cosmology. We prove that a generalized $m$-Kropina metric $F$ is an…

For a standard Finsler metric F on a manifold M, its domain is the whole tangent bundle TM and its fundamental tensor g is positive-definite. However, in many cases (for example, the well-known Kropina and Matsumoto metrics), these two…
